"The mutant superhero team residing in upstate New York for the better part of two decades has finally met its match. Not by another terroristic mutant organization, or even by an alien race seeking intergalactic justic. Rather, the X-Men, as they have requested to be called, seem to have been defeated by the American justice system. Authorities have had their suspicions concerning the group involvement with the now disbanded HellFire Club, once controlled by the late Sebastian Shaw, however it wasn't until recently enough evidence and witnesses were gathered to constitute search warrants of the Xavier Institution of Higher Learning for Gifted Youngsters, and its grounds. Numerous amounts of questionable material, firearms, and phamlets promoting a super race propaganda were collected as evidence.
A number of charges were brought against the vigilantes, the Xavier Institute, and its founding fathers; Charles Francis Xavier and Erik 'Magneto' Lensherr. The charges include but are not limited to attempted murder, gang related activities, aiding and embedding known terrorists, kidnappings, and improper use of a basketball court. COnsidered as extreme flightrisks, many of them by their own abilities, the mutants were repremanded without bail. Trial date has not been released to the public, however, many court officials speculate the date will coincide with the anniversary of the attack on the Mutant Registration Center nearly 15 years ago when the world renowned authority on biochemistry and genetics, Dr. Henry McCoy was apprehended in connection to the attack. Although charges were officially dropped, prosecution may intend to extend the guilty party to also include some of the earlier students of Xavier.
Those currently in custody face varying terms of sentencing and reports have not yet been confirmed whether individuals will be offered plea bargains by the prosecution in exchange for testimory against the X-Men in general and the appointed ring leader, who, reports claim, is indeed Charles Xavier. Xavier is not a stranger to the life behind bars, as the half-brother of Cain Marko, otherwise known as 'Juggernaut', who has been deemed a threat to the public after his numerous counts of destruction of public, private, and government property. Investigations are currently looking for evidence proving Xavier was actually orchestrating and controlling the 'Juggernaut's' uncontrollable rage so the 'X-Men' could come in, save the day, and be perceived as heroes.
Some believe the Xavier Institutes was actually nothing more than a training base for teaching young and inexperienced teens how to control and manipulate their powers against others. Programming for the 'Danger Room', seemingly the area where training excerises took place, included confrontations against mutants and humans alike. Whether they were in face of a mutant take over for America has yet to be seem although Xavier is known for preaching peaceful co-existence between the two societies. If this is the case, one must ask himself, who would the X-Men side with if a war broke out; those they claim to protect, or their own kind?"
